From Paper Checks to Digital Clarity: Tracking Compliance With Cegid Retail Store Excellence

But in a highly regulated environment, ensuring compliance with brand standards, health and safety procedures and operational policies is more important than ever. If your current approach still involves manual paperwork, spreadsheets or disconnected systems, it’s time for a smarter, more efficient solution.

Cegid Retail Store Excellence replaces outdated manual audits with a modern, mobile-first platform that transforms how store teams execute daily checks, manage compliance and share insights across your retail estate. With real-time visibility, structured reporting and flexible task management, it brings confidence, consistency and clarity to every level of your retail operations.

Say Goodbye to Uncertainty

Whether it’s a health and safety walkthrough, a store opening checklist or a promotional compliance audit, retailers need a reliable, repeatable way to monitor execution. Manual checks introduce too much risk because forms can go missing, data is inconsistent and response times are slow.

Cegid Retail Store Excellence brings rigour and reliability to the process. Fully digitised checklists can be rolled out across your entire store estate, ensuring that standards are met and every store is audit-ready at all times. Notifications and escalation alerts help you track what’s happening in real time, giving you peace of mind that nothing is being overlooked.

Standardised Processes to Ensure Brand Compliance

At the heart of Cegid Retail Store Excellence is the ability to create standardised processes that are tailored to your brand’s unique operating model. You can build checklists and workflows to support every type of store task, from opening and closing procedures to merchandising compliance and safety checks.

Each checklist is fully customisable, meaning you can standardise what matters while still flexing to local needs. Schedule checks to recur daily, weekly, monthly or at specific times and set up rules to make sure they are completed within the right time window. The result is a scalable, consistent approach to compliance and execution that removes any doubt and drives accountability.

In store communication built for Store Teams

Designed with the store colleague in mind, Cegid Retail Store Excellence is built to work the way store teams do. The mobile-friendly platform makes it fast and intuitive for them to complete tasks, upload photos, add comments and flag issues. By making compliance checks part of daily routines, the platform supports a culture of ownership and pride in performance.

The system also works offline, so store teams can carry on even if connectivity is interrupted and so ensure availability and consistency in every location.

Some checks simply can’t be missed. Whether it’s fire safety, refrigeration temperature logs or accident reporting protocols, Cegid Retail Store Excellence helps you manage non-negotiable tasks with confidence. Designate critical checks within the system and receive real-time alerts if any are missed or completed incorrectly. This proactive feature ensures you can take immediate action and maintain compliance without the need for constant manual follow-up.

With Cegid Retail Store Excellence, you can collect consistent data from stores across your network, supporting everything from compliance tracking to trend analysis and performance benchmarking.

The platform’s forms capability enables retailers to set up regular reporting cycles (daily, weekly, monthly or custom), giving field managers and head office teams a clear view of what’s happening on the ground.
